But where do you get your supply? That’s the creepy question.

Fra-gee-lay, must be Italian!

Yes, but the best we can do is the project catnip ears that are clipped, indicating you are spayed or neutered.

Ugh. We don’t like all the stuff they shoved down our throats with 11. I hate to imagine 13.

Sometimes kids pull things out of mid air that you would never expect them to say and don’t know from where they came. Sometimes those things are wise, are prophetic, are really weird, or are just really funny. If you don’t raise an eyebrow sometimes, you’re not enjoying your time with those kids enough. My kids are wise, prophetic, weird, and funny. Everyone around them gets a kick out of the stuff they say.

What about Saturdays?

Hey! Wanna help me move? You can also carry the biggest pieces for furniture to show how superior you are to me! That’ll show me!

Exclusion through inclusion. Like the “I’m not prejudice, I hate everyone equally.”

In the movie Caveman (1981, with Ringo Starr and Dennis Quaid), they invent music. That song has been stuck in my head for nearly 40 years.

Sure. My mouth, too, but that’s it. Just the two of us and no one else.

Nothing like empiricism.

He wasn’t necessarily unhappy. He was probably horny, though.

When they come to you to ask you for something, ask them to do something (chores, etc.). They’ll stop asking you as much for stuff or they’ll free up some of your time to be able to have leisure time later. Win-win for you.

I don’t know what study you are referencing, but in ALL the behavior analytic literature on “self-control” that I know of, the experimenters provide the reinforcement as part of the study. Not only that, but there are usually repeated trials with the same individual to establish a baseline and some sort of experimental treatment to see if self-control-related behaviors can be shaped. If the research is done with individuals who are children or have Developmental Disabilities, they usually ask that whatever the reinforcers are be restricted for some amount of time prior to experimental sessions to minimize outside influence on the study. So, families are usually asked not to give that specific candy, or whatever, to the individual during the trial, but there will be a handful of opportunities to receive some.

Only if he thinks Vance or someone who stands to benefit from Vance’s advancement is plotting against him. However, there’s a line of succession of terrible people. He can’t tarnish the “good names” of all of them.

I usually do mine solitarily.

Especially them. I don’t feel safe around the police without a serial killer in my vicinity.

I look at that less as a plot point and more as a nod to video game design. I really liked that movie.

There was some amazing stuff in some of those hidden passages. It was well worth it in that game. Doom/Doom 2 had a lot of that, too.

I think I’d add a panel before 1 and show it running from far away and remove what is currently the 4th panel entirely. I get that it’s a different joke, but I think it’s funnier. OR, if you’re going to make the existing joke, don’t have the antelope say it, add something nondescript labeled “your feelings” chasing it and make the cheetah’s eyes bulging only in the last panel.
